Java goes reactive

Lambdas, Vert.x, Futures, Promises, Reactive programming. Here and there, we hear about them. Looks like Java woke up one morning suddenly aware of asynchronous models (although it has been already there in many other platforms). I feel quite a sound trend in this direction these days. Something probably stronger than a hype.

    as with any alternative methodology that becomes main-stream, we have to learn how to use it when we need it and to avoid using it when it does not resolve a real issue.
    It already happened many times (e.g. EJBs, O/RM, SOAP, JSF), in particular after standardization and enterprise defining them as requirements.
    Let's hope they remain hype for nerds a little longer.
